Profile Summary

I am a food systems researcher and environmental management consultant with over eight years of research experience, currently completing a PhD in Geography (Environmental Management) at the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA), Kaduna, Nigeria. I hold an MSc in Geography (Environmental Management), a Master of Business Administration (MBA), and a BSc in Geography and Regional Planning. My research expertise spans food supply chains and postharvest loss, environmental impact assessment, waste management, agricultural systems, land use and land cover analysis, and GIS-based spatial analysis. I have 13 peer-reviewed publications in indexed journals, covering food systems, environmental degradation, water quality, urban geography, and agricultural economics. I am currently the Principal Investigator on a TETFund Institutional-Based Research Grant focused on tomato postharvest losses across the Nigerian value chain which is a multi-state primary research project involving 297 market traders and farmers across seven states. This work gives me direct, current, granular insight into African food supply chains that no desk-based researcher can replicate. WHAT I OFFER CLIENTS: - Quantitative and mixed-methods research design from scratch, including questionnaire development, sampling strategy, and field data collection protocols - Statistical data analysis using SPSS: descriptive statistics, regression analysis, ANOVA, chi-square, correlation, factor analysis, and interpretation of outputs for publication or decision-making - Survey design and management using KoboToolbox for large-scale field surveys - Systematic and narrative literature reviews in food systems, agriculture, environmental science, and geography - Scientific writing, manuscript preparation, and journal editing for non-native English authors - Environmental impact assessment reports and waste management analysis - Food security analysis and agricultural value chain diagnostics for sub-Saharan Africa - GIS-assisted spatial analysis and map-based reporting - Grant proposal writing for research in food, environment, and development sectors RELEVANT EXPERIENCE: I have worked across multiple Nigerian states conducting primary research in markets and rural communities. I am fluent in English, Hausa, Yoruba, and Uneme thereby giving me direct access to research populations that other consultants cannot reach. I previously managed tomato supply operations from farm to processing plant and ran a poultry enterprise, giving me rare practitioner-level insight into agricultural value chains. I have an MBA with specialisation in organisational management, and I have served as Faculty ICT Officer, Examination Committee member, and NUC accreditation committee member at NDA reflecting strong administrative and institutional capabilities. I deliver work that is accurate, publication-ready, and on time. I welcome projects from researchers, businesses, NGOs, development organisations, and startups operating in food, agriculture, environment, or development sectors globally.
